Rishi Jamdagni should have asked King Vikramaditya for advice. There was a story like this in Vetala Panchavimshati where a woman's husband and brother ended up beheaded in a Durga temple. She prayed to the goddess who was pleased and told her to put the heads back on the bodies and they would be revived. In her hurry the woman mixed up the heads and her brother's head ended up with her husband's body and vice versa. This left her confused as whom she should see as her husband. Vetala posed that question to Vikram and he replied: the man whose body is with her husband's head is her husband since the head is the most important factor, the person's identity is determined by the head (in other words, you are your brain). Vetala confirmed that this was the right answer and went back to his tree.

I thought King Vikramaditya said she should remain with whom her husband's heart is as its the heart that can love and not the mind - meaning that she should remain with person with her husband's body. I didn't find this explanation convincing, though. Maybe I should get a better book on those stories.

Besides, as per the Vetaal's story, Vikramaditya (or the woman) had to choose whom she should live with. The Vetaal posted the question whom she should live with and not what she should do if I remember right. I don't think that was the case in Jamdagni's story.

I think the solution to Parashurama's problem would have been a polyamorous marriage, w/ both men being the husbands of both women 😈😆

I think the question I have raised here ,created a controversy like who ,who's wife and who ,who's husband😆

Vibhishna I think the question like, From where a relation will arise between two Humans? …….having many answers .Some will say ,a Poor relation will start from Eyes and a proper one start from Heart .Practically every relation is recorded and accepted through brain only (scientifically ).

But according to our Yogic scriptures Heart plays a vital role in all human emotions ,because they believe Anahata (heart chakra),is base for all our emotions and deeds ……according to them every chakras of human body related to this or that work through our nerval system and not plainly our brain .Our chakras act as a transreceiver for Cosmic energy ,which will guide us in all our actions .

@Vrish u are cracking me a lot SO if u are given a Judicial post , with the help of Sword u are planning to kill the whole family and announcing the judgments to swap their bodies' ……….Cant think of that man……😆…😆hahahh

Or u will grant polygamy (like have this one too Totally free…😲…😆.)

even my Mother laughed a lot after reading ur comment ……………

U said biologically she gave birth to brothers child (I am not biological student )

Human is all about their body not more than that ,yuck its indeed a critical question like Which is first Hen Or Egg?

Vrish, I don't know about the polyamorous marriage but your second solution seems a good option. People were in Tretha Yuga at that time, so ideals would have been much higher than this era. But swapping the heads of both the men would have solved the problem. 👏


Vanadhi, don't worry about controversies. They come up quite a lot while discussing our scriptures. There is a lot more to relationships than from where it starts but the starting point does play a very vital role on how the outcome would be. If we start discussing about the cosmic energy and scientific explanations, the discussion would never end. Not that I mind 😉 but I have a lot to learn before I take up those questions.


As for the hen and the egg, its not a critical question at all. Its the hen that came first. No doubt about it at all. 😊

Ok i too hv heard abt parshuram behaading his mother on da orders of his father?can someone tell me da reason why his father told him 2 do so?And another question is abt shukracharya?we all know da reason why he supported asuras and went against devatas.but is he a good guy or a bad guy?in dis show,dey r showing him as actually a good guy but in oder shows,specially jai veer hanuman which used 2 come long long bak,he was always shown as a bad guy who would always instigate ravan against da GodsAnd what happened 2 him after ravan's death?how did he die?does anyone know dat?

I disagree w/ Vikramaditya - from an erotic pov, since the woman enjoyed her husbands body, she should have gone w/ the one that had her brother's head. Otherwise, if she consummated w/ her husband's head, she'd have ended up giving birth to her brother's kids 🤢

The other solution Parashurama could have done - behead Jamadagni and the washerman (again) and swap their heads. That way, they'd have an apples to apples plug-in compatibility. Similarly, for the Vikram/Betaal case, the woman could have taken her bhabi (assuming she had one), and exchanged both their heads. Problem solved.

The actual account was something like this- Renuka Devi was was the extremely chaste wife of Rishi Jamadagni. As it happens in most such cases, her husband was always absorbed in austerities, and did not pay much attention to his wife. However Renuka never complained.

He then first asked his other sons to kill their mother, but they refused. He then cursed them to become insane, and later asked Parashurama to do it, and the latter obeyed. The rest of the story then was as described.
